    Will actually be better than Netflix given it’ll likely have shows you wouldn’t currently find on the platform

      I just saw 30TB exos drives are out. Thinking these will be my next batch of 4 to triple my usable capacity

        I’m at 6x6 with 2 redundant but am approaching 17TB used with 1 drive in need of replacement. Do I need 6x20? No. Is that what I’ll probably get? Don’t judge me.

          I’m currently sitting at 4x6 and 4x12. I’ve been eyeing 4x24 to keep the doubling going but those prices have only gone up in the 6 years since I got the 4x12 drives. These 30s are the only time I e seen the $/GB drop

      Yep, my Plex Library is 90tb. But it’s also shared with all of my friends and family so there is a justification for it

      It’s all fun and games until all the drives have 70,000 hours on them.

        At that age they are obsolete for 24/7 operation anyways, the electricity savings of getting a denser drive outweigh the upfront cost of the replacement

        At least with German electricity prices 😭

          I don’t remember when I set this instance up, but it’s been a few years, yeah. Maybe 3 or 4. I had another torrent client before, but those stats were lost when I switched from windows to linux. I also have another instance of qbittorrent with a few TiB of upload, but that’s mostly used for hoarding wikis.

        Nah, just use public trackers and it’s incredibly easy to get such a ratio. Because almost no one actually bothers seeding on public trackers.

        I really struggle to get a good ratio on Linux ISOs, they are popular but also so well seeded that it makes it difficult to seed much

      Right? I can feel bad about not offering my family the same quantity as the mainstream services, then I remember that while I don’t have 40,000 films I do have 5,000 handpicked by me, so no trawling. Also, I’ll never make my friends feel dependent on me as I make their home theatre experience better for free

        5000 is more than what Netflix offers. They have about 3500 movies.

          I have jellyfin for group viewing and sharing, but it’s actually just a bunch of symlinks to an NFS share, which is also exposed as a fileserver (caddy with basic auth)

          So I can stream via jelly clients, or remotely stream/download files directly, or read straight off my local NAS.

          I’m interested in using VLC more for home viewing. Right now it’s my only option for playing my imaged DVDs on the fire stick. The interface is decent but I’m wondering if you know of a more normie friendly way to select titles, other than browsing a network share.

              Played with it again yesterday. Interface is better than I remember but I think it viewed the .iso files as DVD directories, forcing me to pick a VOB file and deal with it.

              Is that similar to your experience?

                I haven’t used ISO much since my days of PC game piracy. I know VLC handles physical media with slight jankiness like what you’re describing though.

        If they want a specific movie you could just add it. That’s how I do it, whenever we remember some movie or find something new I just add it. No need to have everything just what you actually want and if it’s good I’ll keep it there instead of deleting it when cleaning up from time to time.

          So I have found that I use a folder everything new goes into and then if it’s worth keeping or I finally get the whole season it gets moved and properly organized into a permanent folder. Its been really good for keeping the stuff that isn’t worth it quarantined to be deleted.

          Some shows and movies aren’t worth the hard drive space.

          Yes! I have recently set up a Jellyseerr (Overseerr fork) service which really helps, as they can browse from a load of categories and I get their requests on my account and get it to download to the right directory.

    It’s strange seeing Eric Schwartz’ art style out in the wild. I can’t remember ever seeing anything of his pop up after the mid 2000s so I figured he just gave up on art or faded into obscurity or something.

    edit: I guess there’s just an uncanny resemblance of this one character to his style. I looked up the artist and saw it’s pretty varied. Neat. Also there’s a follow up image where they can’t decide what to watch so they just fuck instead.
